To ensure that studies are gathering the needed information, applicants must periodically report on the progress of implementing the approved study plan and the data being gathered.

The first report is due within one year of the Director's study determination.

If multiple years of study are required, subsequent reports are due each year thereafter,

The study report(s) should include a description of the overall progress implementing the approved study plan; any variances from the approved study plan; and proposed modifications to the approved study plan (if any).

The applicant must hold a meeting with stakeholders within 15 days of filing the report to discuss study results and any proposals to modify the study plan.
